	Gemini 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gemini 7 was originally intended to fly after Gemini 6, but the original Gemini 6 mission was cancelled after the failure during launch of the Agena Target Vehicle it was meant to rendezvous and dock with.
		Gemini VII was the longest space flight in U.S. history, until the Skylab missions of the 1970s.
		As they slowly gained Walter Schirra put Gemini 6A's computer in charge of the rendezvous and then at 5 hours and 4 minutes he saw a bright star that he thought was Sirius, but was in fact Gemini 7.

	Gemini 12 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the 10th manned Gemini flight, the 18th manned American flight and the 26th spaceflight of all time (includes X-15 flights over 100 km).
		In preparation for Gemini XII, new, improved restraints were added to the outside of the capsule, and a new technique—underwater training—was introduced, which would become a staple of all future space-walk simulation.
		Gemini 12 was designed to perform rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle, to conduct three ExtraVehicular Activity (EVA) operations, to conduct a tethered stationkeeping exercise, to perform docked maneuvers using the Agena propulsion system to change orbit, and demonstrate an automatic reentry.

	Space Mission Patches - Gemini Index
		On Gemini 5, 6, 8 and 9 the mission patch was worn on the right breast; on the remaining missions (7, 10, 11, 12) the patch was worn on the right upper arm -- in some cases almost down at the elbow.
		Gemini 7, launched prior to Gemini 6 in order to provide a rendezvous target for that mission, remained in orbit for a record-setting 14 days.
		Gemini 10 accomplished the first-ever double rendezvous: after docking with their own Agena target vehicle, they used its engine to raise their orbit to allow them to rendezvous with Gemini 8's abandoned Agena.

	Gemini Spacecraft - Projects Gemini
		Gemini mission accomplishments included the first U.S. two-man spaceflight, spacewalk by an American, use of fuel cells for electric power, spacecraft rendezvous, docking with another spacecraft, emergency landing of a U.S. spacecraft and use of an Agena target vehicle's propulsion system for rendezvous operations.
		The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, under the supervision of the Office of Manned Spaceflight at NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Dr. George E. Mueller acted as program director up until Gemini 5, when William C. Schneider took over the responsibility.
		Virgil Grissom nicknamed the Gemini III spacecraft "Molly Brown" after the popular Broadway musical "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." He was poking fun at the fact that his previous spacecraft, Mercury Liberty Bell 7, sank after it splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.

	Gemini-7: Lessons and Legends
		The Gemini also had a docking light which was aimed at the booster after sunset, but it "was not particularly helpful", probably because they were too far away (it later worked fine with Gemini-6 at a much closer range).
		The Gemini spacecraft's attitude was supposed to have been pitch -25 degrees with zero yaw, but in flight was pitch -41.5 degrees, with a 49 degrees yaw error due to his out-of-plane detour to get the sun out of his eyes.
		It might be conjectured that the bogey and the particles were fragments from the launching of Gemini 7, but this is impossible if they were traveling in polar orbit as they appeared to the astronauts to be doing" (but in that case it couldn't have been "in formation" with Gemini-7, as he had carelessly written).

	WallySchirra.Com - Gemini VI-A
		He served as the backup command pilot for Gemini GT-3 (Gemini-Titan), the first American two-man space mission flown by Grissom and John W. Young, an astronaut chosen with the second astronaut class dubbed the "New Nine." On June 22, 1965, Schirra was nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson for promotion from commander to captain.
		Gemini 6 was removed from the pad and replaced by Gemini 7, which was launched on December 4, 1965, on a planned 14-day flight.
		Gemini 6 was redesignated Gemini 6-A. Eight days later, Schirra and pilot Thomas P. Stafford were in their spacecraft atop the Titan II booster when it ignited, then shut down after only two seconds.

	Precursors to the Landing Missions
		And, during this same period, Mercury and Gemini flights were used to develop some of the basic operational; knowledge needed for the manned lunar flights.
		The crews of Gemini 5 and 7 spent eight and fourteen days in space, respectively and, although they had far less elbow room than the Apollo crews, they proved beyond any doubt that there were no physiological or operational barriers to the conduct of a ten-day lunar mission.
		Five of the Gemini astronauts ventured outside their spacecraft and, when they tried to do strenuous work, discovered that the air-cooling system used in the Gemini suits wasn't going to be adequate for Apollo.

		The Gemini VII mission was an important milestone along the path to Apollo.
		The Gemini VI mission (delayed from its original 25 October launch date) was launched from the same pad as Gemini VII, only days later, rather than after the normal two-month turn-around time.
		The crew de-brief section makes fascinating reading, as you have to remember that when Gemini 7 flew (1965) questions were still being asked about a human-being's ability to spend long periods in zero-G. This book is a must for those who are collecting the entire series as it compliments previous titles well.
